Why don’t gamers buy games anymore? It’s a real mystery.
>>741335812Gaming was never meant for poor people
>>741336021And yet the game industry started dying the moment they stopped catering to them
I do. I just bought $140 worth of LUX for Marathon.Don't buy asian games,
>>741336539I’m afraid you’ll need to spend a lot more than $140 to save marathon
>>741336539I'm glad Bungie is getting shut down by the end of the year
>>741335812b0gans don't deserve good prices.
>>741336021this. you think buying shit off steam is expensive now, look up launch prices of street fighter 2 on the snes and adjust for inflation
>>741335812AUS was always retarded with its vidya pricing and they have people in office who unironically believe bideogames make you violent rapistscan't fucking believe it's a real country
>>741338053Is hotline miami 2 still banned?
>>741338053Nah its just taxes that apply to everything>up to 40% wholesale sales tax for luxury items>12% goods/sales tax>currency conversionSame way that gas is "expensive" but really 90% of the cost of gas is just taxes levies and fees.
>>741335812>Aussie dollary-doosHow much is that in real money?
>>741336021>$99>not for poor peopleself own
>>741338648like 99 cents
>>741336021I own a 5090 and only make 1k usd a month nor do I live with my parents. I hope your delusion gets better. Yes I do pirate all my games.
>>741338257Is it true that australia taxes poor and middle-class people a flat 30% of profit when they try to get out of poverty by investing shares so they stay poor???
>>741338919sure you do
>>741338970Yes, and a 9800x3d. Cope and seethe over it. I also own a steam deck, a legion go, AND I also have the latest gamer phone flagship that is the Redmagic 11 pro. You lost and got gaped. My mortgage is only 200usd a month.
>>741336021But they do with these prices. You don't get rich by buying overpriced shit, you just stay poor.
Oh noooo how will you be able to afford your arnott's assorted dippy bickies now?Fake country. Clown nation. Never should've evolved from a prison colony. Free the emus.
>>741335812Nowadays, most games aren't worth a pirate, let alone paying full price a decade after their release.
>>741335812
>>741335812>xbox storeIs this a trick question?
>>741340715Ok but if games weren’t wokeslop you’d be ok spending $100 + tax + tip for 12 hour single player games 7 years after they released?
>>741339009
>>741340972But they are woke.
>>741341540It must upset the fuck out of you. I hope it keeps upsetting you. Only only people who can't afford hardware are retards like you who can't manage their finances properly. If I can own top of the line hardware on a measily budget and you can't then you're just a fucking idiot. Keep coping and seething until the sun comes up. I won't entertain your next concession with another response.
>>741335812Why would you use store directly on Xbox nigga. Get a key. You can get global Sekiro GOTY key for Xbox for 10$ lol.
>>741338053Australia being a somewhat successful nation is a complete fluke
>>741338943Yes. We used to only pay 15% if the investment was held for more than a year but that's been flat scrapped because "rich people should pay more tax" instead of just applying the full 30% to people in specific tax brackets.
Very few companies refuse to drop the price of their gamed even many years after release. RE4 remake can be found for $10 already
>>741335812>Xbox app>gamersPick one.
>>741343178*Hard work.
Back in the day the cope was.>hurr straya is far away and they need to import games so thats why it cost moreNow we know they are just greedy cunts.
>>741336021Only poorfags waste time trying to escape their lives, rich people don't need escapism, their lives are better than video games. I work as a private chest in San Francisco, never had a client that sits around playing video games all day kek, I play them though because fuck my life.
Learn to buy during sales, which are often.https://xbdeals.net/au-store/game/371683/sekiro-shadows-die-twice-goty-editionSekiro is worthless as is japan and asia in general. Buying it ceases your status as Australian, but it's $50 in another few months. You just missed it being $50.
>>741344559This is why RE is thriving btw.
>>741345216It’s a 7 year old game. Should be no more than $30 at most.
>>741345287Why? It's one of the best games ever made. The price should actually be increased considering the competition. It's more valuable than anything else out there.
>>741346316Best game ever.
>>741345287Try getting Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter ($2.48)And Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 ($7.47)Ghost Recon Future Soldier ($2.48)I just found out Kane & Lynch isn't backward compatible and has been delisted from the store. 2 is available but no where near as good. They really need to sort that out. Tenchu Z, The Darkness, Steel Battalion, Driv3r, all missing.https://www.xbox.com/en-au/games/store/tom-clancys-ghost-recon-advanced-warfighter/c0d7vlq3vdddhttps://www.xbox.com/en-au/games/store/tom-clancys-ghost-recon-advanced-warfighter-2/bqhvltsgmmglhttps://www.xbox.com/en-AU/games/store/tom-clancys-ghost-recon-future-soldier/C20W5LX41N6M/0001360 games, but good ones. Especially GRAW 2.I recommend The Division, Sunless Sea and Metal Eden, but they aren't on sale.I logged in after a few years and my profile now has no stats. That sucks. But I deleted it when a guy who introduced me into his team asked someone that just pvp'd us if he wanted to join. I restored it but I guess that wipes everything. Or it's just been time. Kind of dangerous building a library and history if it doesn't last without regular login.I saw a prisoner at an airport with a 360 in his bag, Battlefield 4, so you're at least allowed a 360 here in prison, with no restriction on what games. Probably. I asked him if you can have a 360 in prison, he said yes. Haha probably a good idea to load up a 360 with some games in case. Or buy physical.
>>741346881Google says series x is only banned in prison due to wifi, networking and browser. Fools. But whoever makes the network shit detatchable and without it plugged in no browser, just select games, play games, they win the console war.
>>741347020We had a PS4 in prison. It depends on the state.
>>741348319Yeah sorry, I checked further. Tasmania is PS4, WA and NT is 360 everywhere else is fucked. The best console allowed in Victoria etc is Xbox.I've done a lot of thought and typed a lot on making original Xbox games for prisoners.What was prison like? I've been in several mental institutions and it wasn't good, but I always resisted drugs.I got done for refusing details and trespassing before but I paid the fine. Apparently not showing up for court though is 3 years. Sitting in court I yelled my objections a few times at others getting ridiculous time for minor crimes. Didn't call the judge your honour either. Fuck them. What kind of a cunt ruins peoples lives for a living.
>>741335812Activision is mad insane, I wonder how expensive the BO1-2 ports are going to be. 60 bucks per game I wager.
>>741336021I'd expect richfags to have more expensive hobbies.
https://fullyloadedelectronics.com/collections/xbox-one-bundles/products/xbox-series-x-correctionshttps://fullyloadedelectronics.com/collections/playstation-4-bundles/products/playstation-5-correctionsThese guys destroy the wifi capability of modern consoles. With some pressure, good presentation and argument they could be allowed. But prisons claim they're too powerful.USB and detachable hard drives are said to be banned too.Simulating freedom could do a lot for someone without any. The way to win the argument would be what is prison about, keeping danger away from others or causing suffering.They shouldn't exist. Just build cities for them by them, male and female prisoners mingling or visiting in stages until they think it's worth more to risk harm in contact than miss out.Fucking failure of empathy.Whole body VR would be the go, get fit while adventuring. Have a girl from another prison in your party. Do whatever. Fulfilling some role of hero that requires physical strength, endurance, whatever the fuck I was going to say.Get used to being whoever you want to be. Virtual city/world. Lessen the line between in and out. Taking on challenges and danger, being capable at lots of stuff and figuring out how to be.Building something others can't touch. Virtual is free space. Idea into action without construction.Maybe pilot a bot on a bot boat or whatever, only bots int he area so nobody can do too much damage. Take on the area when everyone involved is said trusted by who will go there.Bravery should not be underestimated. Trying to breed it out with disincentives is a huge mistake that I don't want to think is possible to be successful. People can handle a lot. They need to do stuff more than be protected from it going badly. Focus on medical repair and common sense instead of scapegoating. Keep history from being an old book.
>>741346715NTA but I haven't played either of those games so can you post some gameplay video of the best gameplay in FFVIII and do the same for Sekiro?I just want to see how much better of a video game FFVIII is compared to Sekiro. Thanks.
>>741348907Games are relatively cheap because a lot of people pay for them. Otherwise they absolutely would be sought out by the rich. Who see games as the highest form of life. Once upon a time RTS etc was reality. Rich played with people. Painted with places.Electronics don't have to eliminate that. They can help withstand plagues, viruses, wars. So people can make, build, create, enjoy grand worlds that don't encroach on others. Free land. Free material. A large bank of what's been to conjure more with automatically and with slight prompt. Or careful. No errosion with sufficient backup. What is made will not fall unless forgotten.
>>741338092Yup.
>>741336021When you double the average price of a hobby in less than 30 years that tends to happenIt's only going to have the effect of pushing more young into Luigi's Mansion so I refuse to complain about it or stop it.
>>741335812this is actually cheaper than what games were in the 90sOoT was like 70 bucks
>>741335812damn, that's like 2 packs of cigarettes.
>>741335812>retarded aussie pretending to not understand that his currency isnt the US dollar part 741352741Could you stop?
>>741336021You can right not get RE4 for $10, Monster Hunter: World for $8 and Don't Starve Together for $1.50. Stop crying.
>>741349973Are you being dense on purpose? Games got cheaper over time in the past. Sekiro is 7 years old. Ocarina of time was not $70 7 years after it released. It was $10 to $20z
>>741349918Everything has more than doubled in price over the last 30 years, you dolt. Except vidya.
>>741335812From software has gotten greedy after becoming industry darlings, any other game would already be on sale for 10 bucks but not their shit. I refused to buy elden ring's 30 dollar dlc because of this
if anyone cares, it's basically $70 in US money.
>>741351558including tax.
>>741338053>AUS was always retarded with its vidya pricingno its not you dumb idiotholy shit the number of people thinking AUD is USD is just too fucking high, i swear to god you people are clinically retarded on averageuse a currency converter and basic knowledge (too much to ask apparently) to find out that no, you dont pay more than anyone else in the first world
>>741338002Inflation isn't a good thing. Your money becomes less valuable not more valuable.
>>741335812>Woman screaming simulator>100$ + TipWhy isn't this selling?>>741340972It'd have to be really good. If the only way I could get System Shock 2 was to pay a hundred bucks for it, assuming some sort of alternate reality where it wasn't free this morning, I just well might. This pricing, woke game design, and the games all being shit are interwoven. The yellow paint, slow mo pan to intractable objects, pop ups showing the button being depressed every five seconds. The same ideology that puts ugly brown women in the game, designs the game for ugly brown women to play it.
>>741351008>Ocarina of time was not $70 7 years after it released. It was $10 to $20zit wasn't even available retard by that time the fucking wii was basically out
>>741336021Pirating exists for a reason. Even with regional pricing we're paying more for games than firsties compared to our income so..
>>741351843it is a bit more expensive thoughbeit
>>741352136That’s even worse. That means games were being heavily discounted shortly after they released, but sekiro still costs as much as it did 7 years ago.
>>741335812we're posting meme currencies?
>buying games on the microshit scam storeanyway the publisher of sekiro is actvision so we know they are more jews than everyone else
>>741335812sekiro is not an interesting game to me, I would not even pyrate it
>>741344990it doesn't cost more, that's 70 real dollars
>>74135339670 is a bigger number than 60
I do buy games.I mostly buy games that are $5-$10.I'd never pay more than 20 bucks for a computer game. It's just not smart. Every game I've ever wanted to play hits $20 eventually, more often than not, within the first 12 months of it's release. If not, it hits around 95% of them hitting it within the next 12 after.
>>741355079$10 government tax on games or sumtotalitarian shithole
>>741335812that game is easily worth 100 of your monopoly money
